Introduction: Foreign media August 25 published an analysis of the article said, in the global smartphone market staged sales and patent battles, Apple CEO Steve Jobs resigned as the opportunity to create Samsung, although there is a supply-demand partnership,  But Samsung has coveted Apple's dominance in the smartphone market.  Here's the full text of the article: Apple CEO Steve Jobs's resignation is an opportunity for rival Samsung Electronics (Samsung Electronics) at the moment when the global smartphone market is playing a sales and patent battle. Mr. Jobs announced his resignation as CEO of Apple in Wednesday and appointed COO Tim Cook to take over the job.  The move sparked speculation that jobs could deteriorate.  While Apple and analysts have stressed that Mr. Cook has the full experience, jobs will be chairman of Apple's board of directors, and Apple has a strong management team, but the resignation of Mr Jobs will still give Samsung a chance to reach the other side of the ocean.  Compared with other companies, Samsung Electronics's development prospects are more closely related to Apple, both are competitors, but also have parts and components supply and demand relationship.  The competition between Samsung and Apple is fierce, with Samsung's Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets carrying Google's Android operating system seen as a major competitor to Apple's iphone and ipad. Even before Mr Jobs resigned, Samsung was more optimistic about its vision of defeating Apple in the smartphone market, says Mark Newman, the former strategic head of Mark Newman, who has served in Samsung for six years.  Newman is currently a senior analyst at the investment agency Sanford C Bernstein Global Memory and consumer products market.  The smartphone market is booming. Samsung has gained a huge advantage in the smartphone market and is gearing up to beat Apple. According to people familiar with the matter, Samsung executives asked at a weekly meeting in Wednesday with Samsung Mobile's executive vice president, WON-PYO, that Samsung could beat Apple in the smartphone market in the short term, and he expressed confidence when he answered.  Just a few hours later, Jobs announced his resignation as CEO of Apple.  Nokia, the Finnish handset maker, failed to hold on to a decade-long dominance in the second quarter, while Apple and Samsung competed fiercely for the top spot.  Samsung smartphone sales surged more than 500% in the second quarter, with an easy increase over Apple's 142%, while Nokia's sales fell 30% in the quarter.  Boosted by news of Jobs ' resignation, Samsung shares rose 2.5% per cent in the Seoul market in Thursday, stronger than the 0.6% per cent increase in the South Korean stock market. Jeon Nam-joong, a fund manager for Consus Asset Management, a South Korean asset management company that owns Samsung shares, said investors had been worried that Apple might crowd out aNdroid smartphone market share, but while Nokia is in a bad position, the resignation of Mr Jobs will undoubtedly provide a good opportunity for Samsung to expand its smartphone market share.  Samsung has a poor record in the tablet sales market, with Apple's ipad sales up 14 million in the first half of the year, compared with about 7.5 million for Samsung's tablet sales in 2011.  Some people expect Apple to weaken its market dominance over rivals such as Samsung and LG Electronics.  Jung Kyun-sik, asset management firm Eugene Asset Management Seoul fund manager, said Apple's net profit would peak as smartphone and tablet sales peaked, as it had not been able to add other bright spots for the iphone and ipad.  Samsung and LG Electronics have been in the mobile hard drive manufacturing industry for more than 10 years, Jung Kyun-sik said, and the two companies will lead the pack once Apple slips from its peak.  Samsung tries to make up for software short board Samsung may also be aggressively offsetting its own software deficiencies, according to South Korean media reports, the company's chairman Lee Kun-hee (Lee Kun-hee) has recently assembled executives to negotiate, including mergers and acquisitions of various initiatives to enhance software strength.  Mr Lee has been keen to improve Samsung's competitiveness by deepening patent pools, recruiting and enhancing software capabilities, and he may be desperate to find a chance to beat Apple.  But Samsung also supplied parts to Apple, which last year totaled about $5.7 billion trillion, the equivalent of 4% of Samsung's total sales.  Boosted by sales of ipads and iphones, Apple's purchases of parts from Samsung accounted for 5.8% of Samsung's total sales in the first quarter of this year.  In addition, the patent and copyright dispute between Samsung and Apple is also on the global scale.  Just in Wednesday, Apple won a Dutch court's initial ban on Samsung, ordering Samsung to stop selling three smartphones in parts of Europe.  A Samsung executive who asked to be anonymous said it was difficult to gauge the impact of the decision because the relationship between Samsung and Apple was complex and involved many parts of the business. Bernstein Newman agrees. The relationship between Apple and Samsung, he says, is really complicated, and the key is that the two companies are not only competing for market position but also need each other; In his view, Apple needs Samsung more than Samsung needs for Apple.
